Need help from Chinese speaker and writer

[fedorinoGore]

亲爱的朋友们，大家好，希望您能作为我的同事给予我帮助。
我是来自乌克兰的一名开发者，目前正在开发一款支持中文的屏幕触控键盘。
我的问题在于我不懂中文。
这时我发现，有一组基本的象形文字，用户在输入完一个和多个象形文字后，应该从列表中选择一些更复杂的象形文字。因此，每次输入都依赖于之前的输入。

这类键盘的一个好例子是：https://gate2home.com/Chinese-Keyboard

但我不明白的是，这组建议的象形文字是如何形成的。

如有任何关于如何解决这个问题的提示，我将不胜感激。这组库似乎是一个解决方案，但我不知道从何入手……

致以最诚挚的祝福和谢意，Fedor Usakov

Hello, dear friends, I hope you can help me along as a colleague.
I am a developer from Ukraine and I am currently working on an on-screen touch keyboard with Chinese language support.
My problem is that I do not know the language.
At this point I figured out that there is a set of basic hieroglyphs and after typing one of them or typing several of them - the user should choose some more complex hieroglyphs from the list. So every new input depends on the previous input.

Good example of such a keyboard is: https://gate2home.com/Chinese-Keyboard

But what I cannot understand is how this set of suggested hieroglyphs is formed.

I would appreciate any hints on how to crack this problem. This set of libraries seems like a solution, but I don't know where to start...

My best wishes and gratitude, Fedor Usakov

There are a lot of different systems that can be used to input a character, for the online keyboard you given, it is using a system called CangJie.

AFAIK the most widely used input systems are PinYin and Bopomofo.

To type a character "面" (face, pronounced as mian), there are two styles:

By shape (or shape mixed with sound):

• CangJie: type mwyl (一田卜中)
• WuBi: type dmjd

By sound:

• Pinyin: type mian
• ShuangPin, Microsoft variant: type mm (first m for M, second m for ian, add together Mian)
• Bopomofo: type au04 (ㄇㄧㄢˋ) (ㄇ for M, ㄧ for i, ㄢ for an, 4 to indicate it is in the 4th tone)

As you can see, this is very complicated, and I would suggest implement at least Pinyin and Bopomofo, that can cover almost all Chinese users. IMO the simplest way to implement it is, find a input library, or if you can't, find a lookup table.

@Jack-Works Thanks a lot! Will look for the packages and lookup tables for both Pinyin and Bopomofo
